Well, I’m talking damage limitation here. Tell him as little as possible, not the whole nine yards. (Part 1.1)

Jack questions Victoria about Robert and Katie’s kissing and what Robert did to her after he learned about it (shouting and threatening). Meanwhile, Robert and Katie try to work through ‘damage limitation’ and getting their stories straight. As soon as Robert comes home, Jack punches Robert and shoves him to the ground for what he did to Victoria.

Bonus: this is not the first time Jack hit Robert. He did it once before with Christopher!Robert on 09-Mar-2000.

21-Apr-2004

Interview Question for Etsushir:

What was the vibe like as a foot soldier during the suppression of the North Finn Rebellion? Did it feel doomed from the start or did it only fall apart once the Odomache was assaulted and killed?

#Etsushir is generally very quiet and guarded and wouldn't give this extensive of a response to most people but he CAN be this #talkative when he's comfortable and being approached genuinely as a peer. He has a lot on his mind.#wrt the war:#Basically what happened was that the approach was EXTREMELY confident. The first Imperial Wardi invasion of Finnerich was an almost #one-sided affair. The Wardi side had superiority in numbers + training + weaponry. The Finns had some basal fire lances but no #muskets (and the majority had no firearms whatsoever)#But this time around the rebelling Finns had reverse engineered the muskets and produced their own. Most not of #the same quality as the Wardi muskets due to lack of resources but more than enough to be a threat #They distributed these firearms strategically by need while the Wardi forces distributed their own by rank and among elite #groups of soldiers. Which was a functional strategy to distribute this (very limited) resource when engaged in conventional #warfare but the Finns engaged primarily through guerilla tactics and thus very effectively countered the Wardi military organization.#This resulted in situations where large groups of footsoldiers armed with spears and bows were slaughtered and routed by like #A Single Guy with a gun hiding in ambush. Which was extremely demoralizing #The Wardi military forces were also plagued with infighting which only worsened when this invasion turned out to Not be a cakewalk #which made them slow and ineffective to adjust to the Finns' tactics and further damaged their own troops' morale.#Bottom line being that most of the common footsoldiers got a distinct feeling that they were Fucked pretty soon after it all began #etsushir #ask meme

#Doodles #Helix #Max Vyer #Dexter Favin #Vent #I'm trying to remember the last time I made a fandom vent rather than my sona.... Probably Vargas-something #*continues to project onto Max* He really is just like me fr #Probably pretty obvious what this is in reference to - turned a bit more malicious and intentional here #Something something it's easier to be angry at a source of intention than to be sad about coincidental bad luck #I'm not about to be thankful for a bad thing happening but the fallout thereof Is interesting in its own right #Like how this probably wouldn't have crossed my mind elsewise - nor would I have started and finished it all in one big sprint #Not much else I could do except get some of the feelings Out #Ft. some of the thoughts I had - self arguments to try to minimize(?) the hurt #Especially of just recreating it since so much of it was my thoughts - Max's dreams are just his subconscious right? Haha #But when you build something over the course of years there's these subtle builds that divorce Then from Now #Not to mention whatever stimuli at the time - if Max's life coincided with specific dreams and both are never repeated #One thing that I think about a lot - ironically haha - is that you only get to experience A Thing for the first time Once #You are then forever changed even if just in some small way - an action that can never be unactioned #Even otherwise recreating the perfect set of circumstances just won't produce the same outcome #It all threads into my thoughts on Legacy as well - if what we leave behind ceases to be - if our butterfly wings are blown out #It could happen at any point - posthumously or while we're still here - and how much does that change in the long run?#It's an interestingly depressing thought haha #It's also part of why I double down on art so so so much - a language that cuts to the core of me #Every picture worth 1000 words - hopefully enough to make up for however many lost (I did a rough estimate and it would've been ~380k)#Somewhere in there are the feelings that lost their voice - were big and loud enough to immortalize in graphite on paper #Scanned and uploaded and maybe even downloaded elsewhere in the world - preserved fourfold in a way a single file on a single computer isn't #Even if one is destroyed it's somewhere else; the danger of only having one copy a kind of trust in program or physicality but no guarantee #Thoughts and thoughts and thoughts - also part of why I tag to tag limit so often I want them saved somewhere outside myself #Seems silly to talk about the art too but I have thoughts there as well haha - like of Madame Vyer asking for Dex's lighter #Dex holding Max back - to protect him from the damage while forcing him to confront it cruelty cruelty

ermm scanned some stuff... some of the orv in my sketchbook + tidbits of my silly merfolk yjh au

#rb #orv #MY OLD DRRR REVIEWER CAME HANDY👍👍👍 just cut up the bits about disaster once I read it bc I went wow this is yoocroft core!#specially the human damage <- disaster bit... God bless my notes!#okay talking abt merfolk au emmm #I made this. bc i got so sick of the mermaid Kim Dokjas I kept seeing on Twitter iwhwkw he does not have enough swag to be qualified that #<- maybe as a squid beast thing yeah but mermaid? no #Anyway I wanted to base yjh off a mythical creature like a selkie or narwhal but I just settled for some breed of shark (yet to be decided)#I first thought of yjh appearing washed up ashore somewhere and hsy and kdj find him and it's meet cute. just like little mermaid silliness #but i thought of a funnier way of them meeting 🤷‍♂️#cute yoohankim au meetup! your friend threw a harpoon at me 😍#<- injuries galore happened on that fishing trip... Jhw got bitten... leading to that conversation between her and kdj...#yjh is able to turn into a human but it depends on how much power she's reserved and it's under a limited time before she turns back #<- this leads to hankim saying if they're sure yjh isn't actually a siren

Not gonna lie, I’m kind of thinking about how when I was a kid (I’m not old I swear!! /silly) flappy bird was taken off of the App Store because it was too addicting and it was deemed to be ruining the lives of kids.

Now Tik Tok is a thing.

Honestly it’s disheartening, and this isn’t me trying to act holier than thou I’m a victim of addictive internet stuff too. Especially having adhd my brain loves that quick dopamine release and it makes me so sad to see how bad it is but still not wanting to fully commit myself to deleting it

#think I might try like….#setting screen time limits like a parent for myself #I’m already on it less than usual #but that’s not good enough for me tbh #I used to read books so much as a kid :(#but my attention span has been torn to shreds #it makes me sad to think about how damaging the internet has become #in such a relatively short period of time #dani talks

anyway ive combed through all the ability trees now so i will take some time to think about it all and report back with my thoughts at some point. no idea when

#personal #at the risk of writing an essay in the tags....#i think the major limiting factor here is only having one controllable party member with customisable abilities #which makes warrior and rogue feel a lot less like warrior and rogue because you've gotta have more varied options #so very few abilities actual deal physical damage #which is cool from a mechanical perspective but makes me cranky from a lore perspective #like a lot of things we're finding out i think my general feelings are It's Fine I Guess #but the limited active abilities (10 per class + 1 per spec) gives you a lot less interesting and unique mechanics #they're just.. a quirky way of dealing a bunch of damage #but im more interested in the lore implications. esp of mage abilities. so i might talk about that more #while im not a fan of calling things entropic when they have nothing to do with the entropy school from dao/da2...#...im glad they're at least using it to describe ice magic because that's the closest you get to entropy otherwise #like in terms of thermodynamics #da #dav

me after being a normal, unscrutinized person interacting with strangers for one evening: oh my god dude i was totally overreacting about everything

#it’s so wild to me that isolation and intense scrutiny can do that #but it makes sense that like a person lives and sees their own depths so if they’re limited to only one relationship and only allowed to #see their insignificant flaws as the entirety of their character then of course the entire life becomes about trying to prove that there’s #more to them #or to proving the relationship false even if they really dont want to do that #like not letting someone talk with other people is really damaging to everyone involved #and love for someone really becomes valuable when that’s not the only person you see

Helena: (whispering in myka's ear) You just say the word, my love.

Myka: (whispering back) Is this your idea of sweet talk?

Helena: (still whispering) I'm certainly excited about the prospect of avenging Leena's unjust murder.

Myka: (sighing) Just... play nice.

Helena: Nice was Leena's job. Abigail's taken it on just fine. Let's hope Artie doesn't murder her, too.

Myka: The Regents agreed, it wasn't him. They agreed that he wasn't himself. They've accepted that.

Helena: And I'm not a Regent. Nor are you. He wasn't himself? He wasn't anybody else either. Leena died by his hand for whatever decisions he made leading to the moment he... did what he did. How can you just..

Myka: (glaring)

Helena: (takes in a deep breath)

Myka: This is the warehouse, Helena. Artifacts do things to people. They play with your mind. We all know that risk. We all take it, every single day. It could have been any one of us. It could be. It has been.

Helena: If he had hurt you...

Myka: I know.

Helena: If he ever does.

Myka: I know.

Silence.

Myka: But I think, for now, we have reached our warehouse homicides quota. Right?

Helena: It doesn't have to be in the warehouse.

Myka: Helena.

Helena: Fine. I won't murder him.

Myka: That's all I'm asking.

Helena: For now.

Myka: I... okay, sure. I'll accept that.

#bering and wells #dickens draws #endless wonder wives #everyday i'm bwodlin'#i was spilling over my stress limit yesterday with back and forths about my car #the collision place quoted sixty seven thousand dollars for a battery replacement but when i talked to the mechanic guy he said #that is just the cost of the work - he doesn't even think it needs to be done #when i talked to the dealership the service manager claims they cannot assess the risk of damage inside of the battery #when i talk to the insurance adjuster he says the collision place said the dealership said there is no battery damage but could maybe be #if there's another big hit to the undercarriage #lolll losing my mind #anyway insurance says if i want they will just pay me for whatever i think the damage is worth he literally said give me a number #and i was like my warranty my gas it's a minimum of 5K bro #he said let me talk to my manager #giiiiiirl #talk faster because i want my car back #all that to say i gave all of my stress and anxiety to myka because i know she can handle it #and even if she can't she has helena there to kiss her mental booboos away #AND EXACT REVENGE ON ARTIE FOR KILLING LEENA #the end #after i posted this i went into photoshop and learned how to do a four image split from a singular image so basically i leveled up #woo

So much of the current marauders fandom controversy wouldn’t even exist if people just tagged their posts right 😭😭

#And if we stopped sending death threats to people I think that would be really cool!!!!#I’m very likely going to delete this post soon because I’m afraid of having it up and I don’t usually talk about controversies and shit #and I want to make it clear that I’m approaching this from a completely neutral point of view!!#so without further ado #in my humble opinion it is absolutely 100% so very valid so so fair absolutely okay for somebody to hate on a ship there’s no issue in that #just tag that it’s hate #It’s so very valid so very okay to like a ship and want to post about it #just use the right tags #don’t tag a ship that isn’t relevant #it’s so very totally okay and so very valid for you to be really fucking tired and really fucking annoyed with seeing a bunch of shit about #tags and characters that you don’t like or support and it’s totally fair that you don’t want to see it anymore #that’s the fault of the people making those posts and if you’re one of those people? use the right fucking tags #if you wanna hate - hate #if you wanna love - love #but no amount of loving or hating part of a fandom based on FICTIONAL MEDIA is justification for sending literal death threats #to real fucking people #there could be a child who has suffered from thoughts of suicide or sh on the other side of the phone that you’ve just sent death threats t #and that child could then be so frightened by what they’ve been sent or they could start believing that they deserve it #and then you would be the cause of irreversible damage to a literal fucking child #And the thing is that that’s literally just an example and there are hundreds upon hundreds of other people with different situations #whether that be adults and people who’ve never suffered with such thoughts etc #who could be affected just as badly if not worse #and that’s all because you got angry about a fictional fucking universe #from a completely neutral point of view I think it’s very reasonable to hate on a ship or a character etc #and I think there should be a place for that hate to be put online because at the end of the day thats part of what fandom internet is for #but that hate shouldn’t be directed towards real people (except for JK Rowling I think we can all agree she’s an exception)#and quite simply it should be tagged #IM GOING TO CONTINUE THESE IN REBLOGS I DIDNT KNOW THAT THERE WAS A TAG LIMIT #tw sui implied #marauders era

you know, this morning my agenda for the day was cleared. I thought up some errands to take care of tomorrow in one fell swoop, and then it turned out I was gonna get a buddy and the opportunity to take care of about half of it today which, baller, am i right? Plan is to get back out tomorrow at some point and take care of the rest of it and once my brain catches up that the hardest of the trips is out of the way, we'll be set lol

#Should i have done as much today as i ended up doing? probably not but like that's the case any time i leave the house #and like. this way at least i'm spreading the damage out over a couple of days #so there's time to heal up and reassess the situation come morning style #pretend my words are the correct ones in this case - i know they're the ones i want but you might not so just pretend until it's correct #i gotta use my two-ish weeks of mobility wisely and the best way to do that #is to use up all of my mobility as fast as possible right?#okay that's a joke i realized i said to pretend my words were the correct ones but like i should probably clarify #that it is inadvisable to use up all of your mobility all at once if you know that's a possibility #but also a bitch gotta get shit done SOMETIME so like #tomorrow should theoretically be a bunch of easy trips it's just also like 4-5 stops we might be making #so it's important to recognize i may need to pace myself lol #it is ASTOUNDING how much the compression socks help me tbh #like i know my limits pretty good - i don't always listen to them until they hard-stop me but like #i know them we've talked #and i hit my warning signs WAY late into the game tbh #i swear to god please brain realize we Did Several Things on the list please #a list we didn't even have for today to start with please recognize accomplishment brainnnnnnnn

As Khare's mutation continues to advance, the harder she becomes to kill. Injuries that would cripple or outright kill grown men can be healed in minutes while entire limbs can be regrown in around 24 hours. Currently she's survived taking a bullet, tumbling down a mountain and getting mauled by a bear with 'only' a few scars to show for it but as her humanity diminishes, her absurd levels of durability will only continue to increase.

#🌈 || musings #🌈 || headcanons #🌈 || character sheet #I'd say she's almost at the level of Ethan Winters when it comes to soaking up damage #Getting a couple of fingers lopped off hurts but they'll grow back #Smashing her skeleton? The bones will set in a few #There are limits to what she can currently endure since for the most part she is still mostly human #She can handle a lot short of getting dropped into a meat grinder #The more she continues mutating though oooh boy #We're talking William Birkin levels of body horror here #Mow her down and her body will just regrow to be tougher than before #She's the kind of character whose mode starts off hardcore but gets easier as you continue through her story #And that's a bad thing bc the mutation is winning :')

Made one of my players extremely uncomfortably go “Jesus Christ” after describing why I like damaged goods blood so much and I’ve been riding that high for like five hours B)

#Calling it damaged goods instead of #melancholic probably also helped #yes this was within game limits I didn't violate the session zero consent talk #Vtm #Vampire

// physically feeling pretty awful w/ my shoulder in pain and a headache but i’m thriving on the serotonin i get from asking questions successively abt ppls interests. im a third party guy i like hearing ppl talk and i like asking them questions. im like a therapist but for special interest confidentiality /j

A lot of younger people have no idea what aging actually looks and feels like, and the reasons behind it. That ignorance is so dangerous. If you don’t want to “be old,” you aren’t talking about a number of years. I have patients in their late 80s who could still handily beat me in a race—one couple still runs marathons together, in their late 80s—and I lost someone who was in her early 60s to COPD last year. What you want is not youth, it is health.

If you want to still be able to enjoy doing things in your 60s and 70s and 80s and even 90s, what you want to do, right now, is quit smoking, get some activity on a regular basis (a couple of walks a week is WAY better for you than nothing; increasing from 1 hour a day of cardio to 1.5 will buy you very little), and eat some plants. That’s it. No magic to it. No secret weird tricks. Don’t poison yourself, move around so your body doesn’t forget how, and eat plants.

If you have trouble moving around now because of mobility limitations, bad news: you still need to move around, not because it’s immoral not to, but because that’s still the best advice we have. I highly recommend looking up the Sit and Be Fit series; it is freely available and has exercises that can be done in a chair, which are suitable for people with limited mobility or poor balance. POTS sufferers, I’m looking at you.

If you have trouble eating plants because of dietary issues (they cause gas, etc.) or just because they’re bitter (super taster with texture issues here!), bad news. You still want to find a way to get some plants into your body on a regular basis. I know. It sucks. The only way I can do it is restaurants—they can make salads taste like food. I can also tolerate some bagged salads. On bad weeks, the OCD with contamination focus gets so bad I just can’t. However, canned beans always seem “safe,” and they taste a bit like candy, so they’re a good fallback.

If you smoke and you have tried quitting a million times and you’re just not ready to, bad news. You still need to quit. Your body needs you to try and keep trying. Your brain needs it, too. Damaging small blood vessels racks up cumulative damage over time that your body can start trying to reverse as soon as you quit. I know it’s insanely, absurdly addictive. You still need to.

You cannot rules lawyer your way past your body’s basic needs. It needs food, sleep, activity, and the absence of poison. Those are both small things and big asks. You cannot sustain a routine based on punishment, so don’t punish your body. Find ways to include these things that are enjoyable and rewarding instead. Experiment. There is no reason not to experiment—you don’t have to know instantly what’s going to work for you and what won’t, you just need to be willing to try things and make changes when things aren’t working for you.

You will still age. Your body will stop making collagen and elastin. Tissues you can see and tissues you can’t see will both sag. Cushioning tissues under your skin will get thinner. You’ll bruise more easily. Skin will tear more easily. Accumulated sun damage will start to show more and more. Joints will begin to show arthritis. Tendons and ligaments will get weaker and get injured more easily, as will muscles. Bones will lose mass and get easier to break. You’ll get tired more easily.

But you know what makes the difference between being dead, or as good as, in your 60s vs your 90s? Activity, plants, and quitting smoking. And don’t do meth. Saw a 58-year-old guy this week who is going to have a heart attack if he doesn’t quit whatever stimulant he’s on. I pretended to believe it was just the cigarettes, and maybe it is, but meth and cocaine will kill you quicker. Stop poisoning yourself.

Baby steps; take it one step at a time; you don’t need to have everything figured out right now. But you do need to be working on figuring things out.
